Doha 182
गुर बिबेक सागर जगु जाना। जिन्हहि बिस्व कर बदर समाना॥ मो कहँ तिलक साज सज सोऊ। भएँ बिधि बिमुख बिमुख सबु कोऊ॥१॥
परिहरि रामु सीय जग माहीं। कोउ न कहिहि मोर मत नाहीं॥ सो मैं सुनब सहब सुखु मानी। अंतहुँ कीच तहाँ जहँ पानी॥२॥
डरु न मोहि जग कहिहि कि पोचू। परलोकहु कर नाहिन सोचू॥ एकइ उर बस दुसह दवारी। मोहि लगि भे सिय रामु दुखारी॥३॥
जीवन लाहु लखन भल पावा। सबु तजि राम चरन मनु लावा॥ मोर जनम रघुबर बन लागी। झूठ काह पछिताउँ अभागी॥४॥
Meaning
“My Guru, Vasiṣṭha, as all the world knows, is an ocean of wisdom; the universe is like a plum in the palm of his hand*. Even he is making exhortations for my coronation; when Fate is adverse, everyone turns hostile. (1) * It is an idiomatic way of saying that the secrets of the world are intimately known to him. “With the exception of Śrī Rāma and Sītā no one in this world will say that the plot did not have my connivance. All this I must hear and endure with a cheerful heart; for wherever there is water, mud must be there eventually. (2) “I shudder not to think that the world will call me vile; and I have little anxiety about the other world either. There is one terrible anguish that torments my heart; it is that Sītā and Śrī Rāma are suffering hardships on my account. (3) “Lakṣmaṇa has fully reaped the reward of his existence; discarding everything else, he has fixed his mind on Śrī Rāma’s feet. As for myself, I was born for Śrī Rāma’s banishment; in vain do I lament, wretched that I am. (4)
आपनि दारुन दीनता कहउँ सबहि सिरु नाइ। देखें बिनु रघुनाथ पद जिय कै जरनि न जाइ॥१८२॥
Meaning
“Bowing my head to all, I lay open my terrible distress before you. Unless I behold Śrī Rāma’s feet, the agony of my heart shall not go. (182)
